Motion computing will launch their "C5" in Australia in a few months which you may want to have a look at.
http://www.pulsemagazine.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=94 Details are now available from their website - this device is designed specifically for the hospital segment as their website will tell you. www.motioncomputing.com.au I had a few minutes with a prototype 2 weeks ago, but won't be able to do a review until they get some production models in the country. Depending on your hospital setup, I expect that a lot of the hospital specific gadgets will be dead weight for some time unfortunately. In the past, I've found their "1600" and "800" models to be pretty slick, and note they have just announced a "1700" which supersedes the ageing "1600". For the purposes you describe, screen resolution will always be a big issue and I'm not sure "Ultramobile" form factors would be suitable for your purposes. You'd have to start with your clinical software and work backwards to find a device just large enough to work. My feeling is that if you need 8 hours run time, you're going to need at least one spare battery and probably 2 as they deteriorate.
